The Mock-Up Process

Getting to the point of being ready to build your dream yacht is a daunting thought. With so many options in finishes, fabrics, materials, etc. it's enough to overwhelm almost anyone. You then have to add in the logistical concerns... is there enough headroom? Will these cabinets be deep enough? Is there enough space to get in and out of the helm seat? One of the most integral pieces of building a custom yacht is the mock-up. At Lyman Morse, we construct a full-scale mock-up for every yacht that we build so the owner can experience first-hand the boat's spatial relationships and configurations. Even with today's sophisticated technology, this hands-on, walk-through step quickly converts the dream to reality. We created a video with the owners of No Slip III, a Hunt 52' launched in 1994. Though this video is 15 years old, its content remains remarkably timely and on point. We still build them the same way, now in facility in Tenants Harbor. Feel free to stop in the next time you're down there. Stuart Farnham will be happy to show you around!
